Angila Golik - Carson High School

I am Angila Golik and I have been teaching at Carson High School for seven years. I moved here from Montana where I had taught there for six years. Prior to teaching I worked in the political field for a U.S. Senator and a U.S. Congressman and was involved in multiple election campaigns. My passion is politics, government, and history. Last year I had the opportunity to take 15 students from Carson High School to the Inauguration of Barack Obama. As a history teacher, this was one of those moments that I will never forget, as I stood among a million people and watched the Oath of Office taken. The experience was magnified a hundred times over by the fact that I took students to this event and exposed them to history of this magnitude.

At Carson High School, I teach world history/geography to sophomores and U.S. Government to seniors. My classroom style encourages thoughtful and respectful discussions. I will consistently ask students to think critically about the subject and then I will challenge their opinions, hoping to get them to think of that topic from another perspective. My goal is to teach tolerance of all opinions. I also spend a significant amount of time covering current events and tying them to the Carson City School District (CCSD) curriculum and Nevada State Standards. Being informed of world events makes one a better citizen. Class discussions, lectures, projects and daily assignments will monopolize our time.

On a personal level, I have been married for 14 years to my husband Ralph. We have two beautiful daughters who attend school in the CCSD. I received my bachelors degree in Political Science from Carroll College in Helena, MT and my Masters degree in Secondary Education from Montana State University - Billings in Billings, MT.

I teach at the best high school in the State of Nevada and am proud to be a Carson Senator! I also work with an amazing group of individuals in the Social Studies Department and am constantly reminded of their intellectual prowess and love of teaching. I am humbled to work beside them each day!

For further information about the curriculum of world history/geography or U.S. government, please see the CCSD website.
